Point Barrow, Alaska, Juły 28.
This northernmost Eskimo community on the Arctic coast of Alaska is bursting at the seams these days and its residents are slightly bewildered by their new-found wealth from the tourist trade and defence construction.
Situated at the end of a jagged spear of land jutting out into the Arctic Ocean, Barrow is north of everything but the pack ice which leads to the North Pole. Its only practical means of transport is by air and it takes five to six hours to fly here from Fairbanks where Alaska's highways and railway end.

Marriage
Proposal As Seasickness Cure
Athens, July 28.
A Greek schoolmaster claims to have discovered an emotional shock cure for seasickness which involves anything from telling a sufferer that the boat is about to sink, that his proposal of marriage is accepted to jabbing him with a pin. But he adds a warning that it is wise not to experiment on complete strangers.
The theory has been developed
